Nope, cell phones are usually locked by the carrier so that you cannot use the phone they give you with another company.

Well, just look at the Apple iPhone. You can purchase the phone without a contract, however, At&t has an exclusive contract with Apple. So, if you want to use the phone with someone other than At&t, you will need to decode/unlock it first.

Also, you could sign a 2 year contract with a carrier, and get an expensive phone for a reduced cost. But if you have a phone, and don't need it. You could sell the expensive phone to someone else, at a higher cost. They would need to decode your phone though, if they wanted to use another carrier.

You are like a 4-5 year old who asks why to every answer they get. Do you have any idea how annoying that is and how it puts people off?

I appreciate a thirst for knowledge, but not when taken to the extremes that you have.
